The Open IoT Challenge has officially started!

The Open IoT Challenge has received an incredible amount of interest so far, and it is 45 projects in total who entered the challenge! They now have about a month to work on their solution and demonstrate why they deserve to win.

We expect all the challengers to document the evolution of their projects and it will be interesting to see the variety of technologies and open-source projects being used.
You can follow what is happening thanks to the Tumblr that we created for the occasion: http://openiotchallenge.tumblr.com.

Open IoT Challenge deadline is approaching – prize pool over $20K!

A quick reminder to everyone that we are accepting applications for the Open IoT Challenge until next week, January 17.

There are many exciting projects being proposed by developers all around the world, from wireless home automation solutions to geolocation solutions for quadcopters, and many more, so don’t wait and enter now! If you feel like you don’t have all the skills to build something by yourself, remember that we accept applications from teams, so talk to your friends and let your ambitious or crazy ideas become a reality!

Thanks to our sponsors Eurotech and IS2T, the prize pool for the challenge amounts to over $20,000, which I think will make the competition even more fierce and exciting!

I am happy to discuss any ideas you may have to help you put together amazing applications that I’m sure will turn into amazing projects, so feel very free to contact me.
